Just call doc() with no arguments on a CollectionReference where you would like the document to live. You can then call set() on that returned DocumentReference to create the document.

If you don't even need to create the document and just want the random ID, use the id property on the DocumentReference.

(Realtime Database called these things "push IDs" because you used the push() method, but they're just called auto generated IDs in Firestore).
